Vesune calls, "He's hungry.  That's a trapper plant, they actually eat insects out in the wild when they're young.  But they can grow quite large, big enough to even eat deer!  Some recluses train them as a kind of guard dog; these plants are actually kind of intelligent, if you can credit it."*Kelthet, your bow seems to be accepted in the intention it was given in, and Vesune and Lykis incline their heads back at you.*"I bid you all the favor of the earth, for you will need every scrap of favor and luck on your side," Lykis says to all of you as leave the store.  *Atlas, when everyone leaves, you ask your question, and tell them your truename.  It's a bit unnerving to say it in the presense of strangers, but you must know the answer.  The two converse quietly for several minutes, and it is the mojh who addresses you.*"Yes.  You are the heart of the mountain, and I know that purely physical means will not help your cause.  It will be for you to remember that compassion is needed as well as might when the time comes."</blockquote>
